System and method of generating effects during live recitations of stories

ABSTRACT

One aspect of this disclosure relates to presentation of a first effect on one or more presentation devices during an oral recitation of a first story. The first effect is associated with a first trigger point, first content, and/or first story. The first trigger point being one or more specific syllables from a word and/or phrase in the first story. A first transmission point associated with the first effect can be determined based on a latency of a presentation device and user speaking profile. The first transmission point being one or more specific syllables from a word and/or phrase before the first trigger point in the first story. Control signals for instructions to present the first content at the first trigger point are transmitted to the presentation device when a user recites the first transmission point such that first content is presented at the first trigger point.

In some implementations, the first story may include one or more of thesame words and/or phrases at different points in the first story. Thesame words and/or phrases may include the same word context.Identification component 110 may be configured to determine which pointin the first story the word and/or phrase with word context may beuttered and/or conveyed by the user. For example, the first story mayinclude a first word and/or phrase with a first world context. The firstword and/or phrase may occur at a first point in time of the firststory, a second point in time of the first story, and/or other points intime of the story. Identification component 110 may be configured todetermine which point in the first story the first word and/or phrasemay be uttered and/or conveyed by the user.

If a user accuracy enunciates and/or perform movements conveyingthe first word and/or phrase the confidence values may be greater. Insome implementations, the individual confidence values of the first wordand/or phrase may be based on the words and/or phrases around the firstword and/or phrase at the individual points in time the first wordand/or phrase. In some implementations, the confidence values mayreflect how accurate and or certain identification component 110 is thatthe word and/or phrase uttered and/or conveyed by the user may be thefirst word and/or phrase. In some implementations, the confidence valuesmay reflect how accurate and or certain identification component 110 isthat the word and/or phrase uttered and/or conveyed by the user may bethe first word and/or phrase at a given point in time in the firststory. If the point in time of the first word and/or phrase precedes thelast word and/or phrase previously uttered and/or conveyed by the user,the greater the confidence value for the point in time of the first wordand/or phrase. If the point in time of the first word and/or phraseprecedes the one or more words and/or phrases previously uttered and/orconveyed by the user, the greater the confidence value for the point intime of the first word and/or phrase. If the point in time of the firstword and/or phrase naturally follows the one or more words and/orphrases previously uttered and/or conveyed by the user, the greater theconfidence value for the point in time of the first word and/or phrase.Identification component 110 may determine and/or update the confidencevalues while the user utters and/or conveys the one or more words and/orphrases of the first story.

If the device latency orthe speech rate may be low, a lesser gap may be between the firsttransmission point and the first trigger point. The gap may be one ormore of a word gap, time gap, and/or other gaps.

For example, in some implementations, the number of syllables from wordsand/or phrases in between the first transmission point and the firsttrigger point may be based on the latency information, user information,and/or other information. If the device latency or the speech rate maybe high, the number of syllables from words and/or phrases in betweenthe first transmission point and the first trigger point may be greater.If the device latency or the speech rate may be low, the number ofsyllables from words and/or phrases in between the first transmissionpoint and the first trigger point may be fewer.

In some implementations, the number of words and/or phrases in betweenthe first transmission point and the first trigger point may be based onthe latency information, user information, and/or other information. Ifthe device latency or the speech rate may be high, the number of wordsand/or phrases in between the first transmission point and the firsttrigger point may be greater. If the device latency or the speech ratemay be low, the number of words and/or phrases in between the firsttransmission point and the first trigger point may be fewer.

In some implementations, the number of the movement of the one or morehand gestures, movement, orientation of the fingers, arms or body, andfacial expressions that may convey the one or more words and/or phrasesin between the first transmission point and the first trigger point maybe based on the latency information, user information, and/or otherinformation. If the device latency or the speech rate may be high, thenumber of the movement conveying the one or more words and/or phrases inbetween the first transmission point and the first trigger point may begreater. If the device latency or the speech rate may be low, the numberof the movement conveying the one or more words and/or phrases inbetween the first transmission point and the first trigger point may befewer.

In some implementations, the time in between the first transmissionpoint and the first trigger point may be based on the latencyinformation, user information, and/or other information. If the devicelatency or the speech rate may be high, the time in between the firsttransmission point and the first trigger point may be greater. If thedevice latency or the speech rate may be low, the time in between thefirst transmission point and the first trigger point may be fewer.
